USers have been advised against using Openledger.info and Openledger.io to access their funds.

Decentralized exchange OpenLedger’s access portals (https://openledger.info/ and https://openledger.io/welcome) have reportedly been compromised by a phishing attack. In a blog post by the OpenLedger team posted on June 2, users are warned that “it’s not secure to use OpenLedger domain even if it’s URL is highlighted as trusted at that moment,” and are instead advised to “please use only bitshares domain https://wallet.bitshares.org.”

A Medium post describing what happened declared that “our GoDaddy’s account was hacked and openledger.io and openledger.info domains are now controlled by malicious individuals. Attempting to obtain login credentials of OpenLedger DEX users, they used these domains to set up a phishing site with an interface extremely similar to the exchange’s original one.”

Resolution Will Take “Some Time”

The post went on to explain that together, OpenLedger’s attorneys and GoDaddy’s representatives are working on finding a solution. However, “due to GoDaddy’s complex legal rules, the resolution of the issue may require some time.” The meaning of “some time” was not specified. However, until the matter is resolved, “trading, withdrawals, deposits, and transfers of all the OPEN. assets will be suspended.”

While users have been advised to use the market.rudex.org and wallet.bitshares.org domains to access OpenLedger. Even though BitShares has not been directly affected by the phishing attack, users have been told to avoid making deposits or withdrawals.

Dear All, I sympathize with those users who were affected by the recent hosting provider’s account breach. Though it wasn’t our fault that credentials of some OpenLedger DEX wallets were stolen, resulting in lost crypto assets, I couldn’t stay still. Starting from July 2, our trading platform will launch the Reimbursement Program for such users.
